First: Sorry but I don´t speak english fine.

I have a dual boot Windows 7 and Windows XP.
Some times when I boot Windows 7 appears "C: Corrupt Disk - Run Chkdsk" in the traybar and I can not create a folder or file in disk C:.
Reboot, run chkdsk automaticaly in Windows 7 but don't repair the C: structure.
Restarts and I select Windows XP option, run CHKDSK automaticaly in Windows XP and repair C: structure correctly. Restart in Windows 7 again and solve the problem then I can create folders in disk C:.
Unfortunately happens again approximately every 3 days if use Windows 7 but don´t happens in Windows XP. I think Seven generate the corruption in disk C: for a diferent NTFS version structure with XP. It's posible?
I do not want to reinstall. have any idea?

I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits and Windows XP Professional service Pack 2 dual boot in three hard disk partitioned all in most NTFS partitions.
PS: The Windows 7 partition was created from Windows Seven DVD. In others PC I installing dual boot (XP and 7) partitioned from XP or Partition Magic and this problem did not happen.

Help!! :(

It sounds like there might be some issue with the NTFS structure that Windows 7 is encountering. When you switch to Windows XP, it repairs the structure automatically, indicating that there might be some compatibility issue between the NTFS versions used by Windows 7 and XP. Here are a few steps you can try to address the issue without having to reinstall the operating systems: 1. Check Disk Errors: Run a more thorough disk check on your Windows 7 partition to see if it can detect and fix any errors that might be causing the corruption. You can do this by opening a command prompt as an administrator and running the following command:
Code:
 chkdsk C: /f /r
This command will fix any errors it finds and also locate bad sectors on...

This command will fix any errors it finds and also locate bad sectors on the disk. 2. Update Windows 7: Ensure that your Windows 7 installation is fully up to date. Sometimes, system updates can include fixes for file system issues. 3. Check Disk Management: Check if there are any discrepancies in disk partitioning that might be causing the issue. You can do this by: - Right-click on "Computer" or "This PC" and select "Manage." - In the Computer Management window, go to "Disk Management" under the "Storage" section. Check if the partitions are correctly recognized and labeled. 4. Third-Party Disk Checking Tools: Consider using third-party disk checking tools that might provide more in-depth analysis and repair options. 5. Backup Important Data: Before attempting any major fixes, ensure you have a backup of your important data in case something goes wrong. 6. Disk Fragmentation: Defragment your disk regularly to prevent file system issues due to fragmentation. 7. Compatibility Modes: You can try running Windows 7 under compatibility mode settings to see if it resolves the NTFS compatibility issue with Windows XP. If the issue persists, it might be a more complex problem related to the interaction between Windows 7 and the specific hardware configuration on your system. In that case, seeking help from a professional might be necessary to diagnose and resolve the issue. Let me know if you need more specific guidance on any of these steps!
